minus-squareiii@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·5 days agoWould love to learn if it exists too. I use it often. The only other way I know how to CAD is https://github.com/pythonscad/pythonscad
minus-squarewildbus8979@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·5 days agoUnrelated but BTW FreeCAD is fully python scriptable. In fact, as I understand it, every operation is first translated to python code.
minus-squareCaptain Aggravated@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down4·5 days agoYeah, and it outright isn’t documented.
minus-squarewildbus8979@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·5 days ago FreeCAD’s Python functions are all well organized in different modules. Some of them are already loaded (imported) when you start FreeCAD. Just try: dir() https://wiki.freecad.org/Python_scripting_tutorial https://wiki.freecad.org/FreeCAD_Scripting_Basics https://wiki.freecad.org/Python_console https://wiki.freecad.org/Power_users_hub https://wiki.freecad.org/Debugging#Python_Debugging https://wiki.freecad.org/Profiling …
minus-squaremranderson17linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·5 days agoThere is also Cascade Studio (Demo). Sadly development has stalled, it was a really cool project. Probably not at all what OP is looking for though since TinkerCAD is just sketch/primitive type workflow, not like openscad.
